Everyone knows that Google uses links to help determine a page's search ranking, so everyone is always scrambling to link exchange and get their link on every site imaginable. That's fine, but I also think it's nice to actually post your link on a website where you'll get some ADDITIONAL benefit as well. If you're going to take the time to find a site to link from, then leverage the site for all it's worth. Here are three sites which can actually help you in terms of CONTENT as well as backlinks: 1. EBAY - Often overlooked, but painfully obvious. Create a profile with a link in it and post your business info along with all the products you sell. Build a customer base and generate sales IN ADDITION to backlinking. 2. BLOGGER - Keep customers or clients up-to-date on what's happening with your business and also include a link. Generate a buzz and let people read valuable, recently-updated CONTENT instead of just dropping a link. 3. MYLOCALSPOT - Like a MySpace but for small businesses, create a free profile and include pics, a description, your products/services, any current specials your running AND a backlink. Actually leverage a site where people go to find new businesses by making use of its CONTENT in addition to its backlinking ability.
ye that's a smart tip and that is what internet marketing means - it's not just SEO - there is much more to promoting your site. btw dude are you running this mylocalpost site by any change? cause it looks like it's brand new. is it for us only? i would suggest you specify it there.
